The server room

Last night, I fought insomnia and lost. Actually, I didn’t just lose. Insomnia took me on a date, got me drunk and left me floating in a body of water in my stained underwear.

So what did I do? Instead of opening the TV and laptop in the living room, I walked to the server room and ’set up’ shop. Setting up shop involves, the new MacBook, the Inconvenient Truth DVD and a new server. I was installing Debain (which is a completely new experience for me since I’m a FreeBSD guy) and VMWare until 4am.

I was sitting there, and realized that server rooms are never good working areas. In reality, my server room should really be my office. It was cold (probably since the window was open to keep the computers from overheating) and it was crowded since the space wasn’t really optimized. In this house, the room is a server/junk room. I looked around and noticed that there were empty rice cooker boxes, a sun server cabinet, 2 desks, computer components that weren’t being used.

I think I found a small project to work on.

My apologies for the completely incoherent post. 4 hours of sleep doesn’t do me right.

hah, i’m still stuck on the words “stained underwear”

I've never been good at writing about me/site pages. It seems too much like self-promotion and being the stereotypical passive-agressive asian; I would rather walk around a crowd and into a train rather than interact with a bunch of people. I'm shy that way, which also contradicts this website that talks about me and my life. My friends and family would care to disagree though, since they've seen my crazy & loud side. More »
